Hi everyone!
I wanted to start expanding how the military operate and overhaul how the military screen works.
I didn't like how selecting the drop zones for the military on this screen wasn't intuitive, so now I have the Select Drop Zones option. This opens up space for the user to select which zones the military drop into.
I've also changed how the selected zones look visually, they flicker to be more obvious.
Military squads will now take over parks and designate them as military bases. At the moment this works as a safe spot for civilians to hide in but I want to add more functionality later on, like disposing of bodies in these regions when cleaning up, or having regions designated as quarantine zones.
Once a squad has reached a park, they will designate it as a base and patrol around the edges to keep it safe from zombies.
Please let me know what you'd like to see added that makes use of this new system, or anything else you'd like to see in the game!
I also fixed some bugs:
Fixed a bug where selecting the military option after all survivors died would make the overlay disappear.
Fixed a bug where selecting the military option after all survivors died would allow the player to select and control units in the middle of the military options screen.
That's it for now, thanks for playing and see you in the next update!
